Lenovo Notebook NVMe SSD clone to SATA

Thread needs solution

Hello Everyone!

I have a Lenovo t460s with a Toshiba NVMe Drive that's too small, I got a SanDisk SATA SSD with 512GB I want to upgrade to. Both are of course M.2 2280. They both fit and get recognized by the Notebook, but after cloning the NVMe SSD to the new SATA one, I always get bluescreens. (I think 0x000007B, says something about doing a chkdsk and removing added harddrives)

Do I need to order a NVMe SSD to make it work?

 

cheers!

Are you attempting to clone while using the installed Windows True Image applicaiton?  If you are that is not the recommended proceedure for doing so.  Pleased review this link for recommended proceedures to clone a drive.  If you have further difficulty post back.

I"d also recommend following the clone procedures in the link above.

That said, going from PCIE to SATA is not really a true "clone" scenario since the hard drive interface is changing.  I suspect you need to boot to safemode first (F8 on some systems - on others, you have to let it error 3 times in a row and then you'll be given the f8 option to boot into safemode).  If you can get to safemode, hopefully Windows will take care of the Driver / SATA change on it's own (it should if using Windows 10 - if using Windows 7 - maybe not)
